Kanagawa Prefecture abuses emergency bulletin area mail, but still be sure to activate it Sumahon!!

In Japan, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced large-scale tide level change observations due to the large-scale eruption that occurred on a volcanic island near Tonga in the South Pacific. There are also coastal areas where ETWS and emergency alert area mail are used in case of a disaster.

Among them, Kanagawa Prefecture sent an unusual number of emergency bulletin area emails. An emergency bulletin that sounds loud even once, but it is sent in large quantities late at night. It is transmitted 12 times in Yokohama alone, and it is transmitted not only to the coastal area but also to the inland area, so you can see that it is transmitted 418 times. Many complaints, criticisms, and angry voices have been posted on SNS about this.

A total of 418 times in Kanagawa Prefecture Distribution history nationwide

Kanagawa Prefecture abuses emergency bulletin area mail

What bothers me is that there are also posts saying, "I turned off the emergency bulletin itself" or "I turned it off because my baby is having trouble sleeping."

It is an important thing that protects you from the danger of life in a disaster emergency. Please do not turn off the emergency bulletin area mail.

But people have their daily lives. It may be childcare, or it may be an exam. If you have turned it off, be sure to activate it in the morning. Be sure to put "re-activate early warning settings" in the reminder app and calendar app. Now you can even talk to your AI assistant to add reminders. Let's do it. And Kanagawa Prefecture should immediately verify and improve the strange ETWS operational system, report it to the people of the prefecture, and ask them to re-enable the emergency bulletin mail.

Thank you for your hard work. Do you use reminder apps or AI assistants? Be sure to enter a reminder to turn it back on in the morning before going to bed. https://t.co/53QT055u9q
